Another general, Daniel Howe, asked after Jacob saluted, "Your Excellency, the Platinum that was damaged in the Antarctic incident has been repaired. Should it be merged into the Steel Dragon battle team? With the current scale of the Steel Dragon battle team, the Flying Dragon, Black Gold, and Steel can no longer bear the burden."
"Platinum?" Xiao Ran sat up slightly. This battleship had only appeared once during the South Pole incident and was subsequently damaged. It had been abandoned at the side, and due to various reasons, it had been in a state of recuperation and had not been brought out. It was only when Daniel suddenly mentioned the Platinum that Xiao Ran recalled this battleship.
However, what really left a deeper impression on Xiao Ran was not the battleship's behavior, but the betrayal of the newly selected captain of the Platinum, Li Linshun. Thinking of this, Xiao Ran asked, "Who is the captain of the Platinum?"
Daniel said, "We have sorted out a few suitable personnel. After confirming that the Platinum will join the Steel Dragon battle team, it will be handed over to the Steel Dragon battle team's commander, Brigadier General Bakirulu, to choose."
"The list of personnel."
"Major Li Linshun of the North American Army. He is an outstanding existence in the military academy. He is also an excellent and principled regular soldier. He is very capable."
"Major Yinshi Kidokai of the Space Guard Fleet. He is an excellent candidate with rich experience and a calm personality."
"In addition, there is the adjutant of the Flying Dragon, Major Shawn, and the deputy captain of Steel, Captain Onodera Tetsuya."
As Daniel spoke, he handed the information he had prepared to Xiao Ran. After reading the detailed evaluation of these four people, Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows slightly. "These four people? I know. Major Shawn probably won't leave the Flying Dragon. Li Linshun and Major Yinshi are not familiar with the Steel Dragon battle team and can't form an effective combat force to cooperate in the fastest way. Then, the best candidate is Captain Onodera. He is also familiar with the members and tactics of the Steel Dragon battle team. There won't be any barriers."
"Promote Captain Onodera to Lieutenant Colonel and assume the role of Platinum's captain. However, Onodera is too young and needs a reliable person to assist him. Assign Major Yinshi Kitakai to Platinum to assume the role of vice-captain. Have Platinum immediately replenish its personnel and then meet up with Steel Dragon."
"As for Major Li Linshun, his evaluation is quite good, and his personal strength is also very strong. However, having strong principles is both a good and a bad thing. The Steel Dragon Squadron has nothing to do with principles. They have strong principles, but they don't know how to be flexible. In an independent squadron like the Steel Dragon Squadron that completely relies on passion and emotion to make the impossible possible, this isn't suitable. However, since you've brought it up, it won't be appropriate if we don't transfer Li Linshun to White Star. When the time comes, we'll replenish White Star with a batch of battleships.
In the original storyline, Li Linshun became a traitor. He defected from the Federation to the New DC and then followed Shadow Mirror. Xiao Ran also had a certain impression of this. In terms of personal ability, Li Linshun was quite good. In Xiao Ran's opinion, the reason why he chose to betray White Star in the end was more because of the idea that people of different paths should not work together.
From the evaluation, Li Linshun's rigid and slightly arrogant personality was not suitable for the environment of the Steel Dragon Squadron at all. Only the great captain's magnanimity and calmness as a battle commander could settle the Steel Dragon Squadron's members with different personalities, strange characters, and often disobeying orders would only create more unnecessary conflicts in the Steel Dragon Squadron. However, what was certain was that Li Linshun was indeed a qualified soldier.
But what was certain was that this guy's personality and mentality were indeed a little problematic. It was not suitable for him to be placed in the Steel Dragon Squadron, but if he was placed in other places, Li Linshun's ability could be displayed. As the headquarters defense force of the Earth Defense Force, it just so happened that this kind of rigid and proper soldier was needed, not impulsive and hot-blooded.
And as the headquarters defense force, they could directly receive orders from the headquarters and completely suppress Li Linshun's arrogance. So, in Xiao Ran's opinion, placing Li Linshun on White Star's side was the best choice.
Xiao Ran was not afraid of the great villain. There were a few in the Burning Legion, such as Cruzet, Cain, and Xiaya, who were not bad in some aspects. How could Xiao Ran take Li Linshun's rebellion seriously? What's more, Li Linshun was now a member of the Earth Defense Force, firmly standing under Xiao Ran's leadership to protect Earth against the aliens. Just this point alone made Xiao Ran have no reason to deal with Li Linshun before he made a mistake.
After understanding the current situation and making arrangements for the Platinum, Xiao Ran's mission in White Star today could be considered completed. However, Xiao Ran did not understand the plan to completely eliminate the rebels, so he asked, "So, what are your arrangements for the elimination of the remaining troops?"
When Daniel heard Xiao Ran's question, he told him the plan that had been formulated long ago. "We will not launch an attack on Underworld King Island for the time being. In order to avoid the rebels in other places losing their last hope and causing unpredictable destruction, we will deliberately leak the route of Underworld King Island. We will only force the remaining troops in other places to gather in the direction of Underworld King Island as much as possible."
"Once the elimination of the rebels in other places is completed, we will surround Underworld King Island and launch the final attack to completely eliminate all the rebels in one go. Of course, during this process, we will also pursue and intercept the rebels who enter the no man's land to ensure that the number of troops gathered on Underworld King Island is maintained at a safe number."
Xiao Ran was quite satisfied with Daniel's plan. It was Xiao Ran's style to try his best to avoid the spread of the war and make the innocent sacrifice and unpredictable losses, so he nodded and said, "Very good, we will proceed according to your plan. We will try our best to avoid involving the innocent as much as possible. So, when will the final attack be?"
"It is scheduled to be in a week. In order to complete the commander's request, we have to be very careful. Moreover, due to the sudden rebellion, the various military districts and bases are in chaos. Although we are barely able to command the battle with a chaotic structure without any battle preparations, there are still many bases that need to be recovered. So, we have scheduled the attack to be in a week's time."
"A week …" Xiao Ran was silent for a moment. A week was not a short time. It was hard to say what kind of messy things would happen in a week. Although Xiao Ran wanted to directly besiege Underworld King Island's headquarters in the next second, he knew that it was not realistic. A week's time was for him to recover, and it also gave the other side the same amount of time to prepare.
